At the end of the day it's easier just to get people to re-enter any numbers they'd like to see in the system then getting into a legal spat over this.

It's daft, as the info has been freely submitted by people who wanted to help others make cheaper phone calls, which is exactly how it would be used here
We didn't have permission from the posters or the owner of the website, while every attempt was made the only response we received (6 months later) was a request to remove the information. Again, without consent of those submitting the information or the website it was pointless trying to do anything but take down the requested information, yes it's a pain but that doesn't mean the same posters can't submit the information to both sites however.
